UK Large-Scale Solar Farms: The Post-Subsidy Prospect List

The UK is emerging as a leading post-subsidy market for ground-mounted solar farms, from 2018 and beyond. The UK Large-Scale Solar Farms: The Post-Subsidy Prospect List contains multi-gigawatt capacity of new solar sites being scoped and planned for completion in the next few years.

These so-called ‘subsidy-free’ sites will form the basis of the next strong growth phase of utility-scale solar deployment in the UK from 2018 onwards.

The current pipeline of ground-mount sites in the UK is comprised of legacy (distressed) ROC/CfD planning activity, and a new raft of post-subsidy planning applications that were scoped or submitted post the ROC-incentive deadline announcement. Our in-house research team tracks new plans, proposals, and planning applications (screening or full submissions) for UK solar farms.
